STATE AUDITOR cARRs INTENTIONS.
In answer a question by journal reporter
yesterday, Bruce Carr, Auditor of State
marked: II paid s21 900 about month ago to
the Soldiers Orphans Home at Knightstown.
Governor Gray objected to it. One of the trus-
tees after ward came here and said the Governor
had told him that he, Governor Gray, had or
dered the State Treasurer to pay the trustees no
more money. Well. the Auditor of State, when
ever the money can be spared out OF the fund
without material injury to the benevolent insti
tutions of the State, will do his duty by the Sol
diers Orphans Home. think the first duty OF
the State is to support with its availabls money
the benevolent institutions that now run
ming. Of which the Soldiers Orphans Home Is
one, and one of the first cares after that is done
will ce payment for the eompletion of the Home"
A RICH HARvEfr FOR THIEVES.
Yesterday afternoon Ind evening pick pockets
got harvest of pocfIet-books, watches and
other valuables as the crowds were coming out
of the circus. They were too much for the
detectives. who, it seemed. had lost their wits.
as no arrests were made, although one of them
work. but could not get at them account of

SPIRITED CONTEST BETWEEN CANDIDATES.
The Republican primary tonight in the Sec
ond ward will be a spirited affair. both the
candidates, the two Davids-Myers and Swain
are on their mette. The campaign has been an
interesting one, as 1t showed the feeling of the
people to some extent on the gas question. al
though tie candidates have managed it without
any acrimonious personalities or ll-feelng. Mr..
Swain says he is not afraid of his record on the
gas question, although he is held by Mserss
friends as being largely responsible for the
gas ordinance. Mr.. Myers asserts that his
position does not favor the Standard Oil
Company. He favors an amendment to the
ordinance that will enable any company TO bring
gas to the city at The street question
does not enter into the contest, as both Myers
aud Swain against Johnsonism. Yesterday
the cow question was preached but in this, as
in the street car matter. both men would vote
against the repeal of the ordinance, not a
man in the ward, whether he owns a cow or not,
wants that done. 1t is expected that the polling
tonight will reach 600 or 700 votes, an extraor-
binary number for a ward primary. The engine
house at the corner of Ash and Seventh streets
will be the voting place, and the polls will be
open from to o'clo ok.
